FROM DISCO’S “DEATH” TO MANCHESTER’S REBIRTH

Only the Wild Ones presents: Listening Session V4

A listening session hosted by tana jonas (in sheep’s clothing)

SUnDAY OCT 5TH · 6:30–8PM

The infamous Disco Demolition Night in 1979 may have signaled the death of disco in the U.S., but the beat never stopped. From the euphoric clubs of New York, disco’s pulse found new life in Manchester’s legendary Hacienda, where bands like New Order transformed it into something altogether different—a sound that bridged rebellion, romance, and rave.

For this session, Tana Yonas will take us on that journey. Host of Wabi Sabi on London’s NTS Radio and a contributor at In Sheep’s Clothing HiFi, Tana is known for her deep archive of records—songs she’s collected like souvenirs, each carrying the trace of a dusty record shop or the echo of a radio in a faraway taxi. Her sets are stories in motion, threading together movements and moments across decades.

Expect to hear disco’s afterlives: shimmering club anthems, post-punk grooves, and the sonic fragments that turned Manchester into a new dance capital. Music that survived collapse, reinvented itself, and still spins with urgency on vinyl.
